Cartridges have a cartridge body configured to store a formulation, a formulation valve disposed in the cartridge body, and an air valve disposed in the cartridge body. The cartridge is configured to dispense the formulation through the formulation valve when the formulation valve and the air valve are each in an open state, and to not dispense the formulation when the formulation valve and the air valve are in a closed state.

Selective sealing cartridge

A compact case and a method of making the compact case. The method includes the step of supporting a formulation tray having a depression formed from up an upright wall surrounding a bottom of the tray, and a flange extending outward from the exterior of the wall between a first frame that presses on top of the flange and a second frame that supports the bottom of the flange, wherein a gap separates the bottom of the formulation tray from the top of second frame.

Refillable compact case

A palette, such as for providing choices of a makeup includes a base enclosing a drawer. The drawer includes pans within pan compartments. The base has a drawer compartment from which the drawer can slide in and out. The pan is retained in the pan compartment by application of a force that presses on the bottom of the pan, and the top of the pan presses against a frame or lid. The pan is removable from the pan compartment when the drawer is slid out from the base to expose an opening in the pan compartment through which the pan is removed. When the drawer includes a fixed frame on top, the pan can slide out from the front of the drawer, and when the drawer includes lids on top, the pan can be removed from the top as well as the front of the drawer.

A wiper for a cosmetic vial comprises a monolithic part having a cylindrical section and a cone section concentrically and sequentially arranged, wherein the cylindrical section and the cone section have a central interior hollow space along an axial center, and wherein the cylindrical and the cone sections are formed from stringers arranged into a lattice with openings extending from the interior to the exterior of the cylindrical section and the cone section.

Cartridges are configurable between a closed state and an open state. The cartridges include a cartridge body and a reservoir disposed in the cartridge body. The cartridge body has an outer locking element, and the reservoir has a rotational locking element. In the closed state, the outer locking element engages the rotational locking element such that the reservoir cannot be rotated out of a first rotational position relative to the cartridge body in which a fluid outlet of the reservoir is not in fluid communication with a fluid outlet of the cartridge body. In the open state, the outer locking element of the cartridge body does not engage the rotational locking element of the reservoir, and the reservoir is in a second rotational position relative to the cartridge body such that the fluid outlet of the reservoir is in fluid communication with the fluid outlet of the cartridge body.

A system for regulating application of solution to a user, includes a rollerball; a body, including a first end and a reservoir disposed at a second end of the body; a fitment, including a well and a solution regulator; and a piston, wherein the fitment is configured to hold the rollerball; the rollerball is substantially spherical and rotatable in the fitment; the first end of the body is configured to hold the fitment; the reservoir is configured to hold a solution; the piston is inserted into the reservoir at the second end of the body; and the well is configured to receive a predetermined volume of the solution from the reservoir.

System for metering in a roller ball applicator

A packaging system includes a base, a lid, a closure structure, and an adhesive deposit. The base has a well. The lid is hingeably connected to the base and has a user input region and a protrusion projecting into the well. The closure structure is configured for releasably retaining the lid in a closed position relative to the base. The adhesive deposit is located within the well and at least partially surrounds the protrusion, and forms a first plurality of adhesive bonds with the well and a second plurality of adhesive bonds with the protrusion. The second plurality of adhesive bonds and the closure structure are configured to exert a combined retention force of at least 20N.

Adhesively closed packaging systems

Cosmetic powder containers with powder accumulation management systems are provided to reduce waste and mess related to the loss of cosmetic powder. In general, examples of systems described herein generally include a sifter positioned above the cosmetic powder with apertures configured for bi-directional pass-through of cosmetic powder. In some examples, the sifter is dome-shaped with a concave upper surface. To manage accumulation of cosmetic powder on an upper surface of the sifter, a sweeper projection is provided to collect cosmetic powder on the upper surface and direct the cosmetic powder toward the apertures of the sifter for pass-through back into the container. In this regard, accumulation of cosmetic powder on the upper surface of the sifter is managed, limiting waste and mess during use of the cosmetic powder.

Systems and devices for cosmetic powder accumulation management

A packaging system for a cosmetic product is disclosed. The system includes a reservoir for holding a cosmetic product. The reservoir defines an open end of the reservoir and a closed end opposite the open end of the reservoir. The system further includes a casing positioned at least partially over the reservoir, wherein at least a portion of the casing is transparent for observing the reservoir through the casing, and wherein a size and/or shape of the reservoir as observed through the casing appears different than an actual size and/or shape of the reservoir.
